    A timeless masterpiece. So many amazing characters and moments. 3 distinct and different play throughs with unique encounters in all of them. Combat is funny and different to a normal JRPG. Amazing soundtrack as well.

    This game is charm distilled into its purest form. The game is just oozing personality in every single area. From the characters, menus, mechanics and music. It also is way more intelligent than it has any right to be and many of the subversions work exceptionally well. It's a variety show that keeps you hooked with the presentation and personality.

It's really no surprise that so many people love this game. My biggest criticism is how easy the game can be on pacifist runs without self imposed challenges. The healing system is just way too forgiving and the game would have been better with some kind of hard difficulty selection for those of us that wanted a little bit more from the pacifist playthrough… Expand

    This game is fantastic. Perfect music,a bit of humuor, incredible characters, etc. Maybe the story isnt very elaborated but it is an extremely enjoyable game and very fun. Would love a second version of the game or a extended one,

    As a person who heard and never played Undertale on PC yet had a PS4, I was quite happy to hear the game was coming to the console and the Vita of all things. Hearing about it's achievements and awards it was given by even the most cynical of critics made me wonder much about the world of Undertale, so I was quite excited to jump on it and give it a run through. So does it deserve praiseAs a person who heard and never played Undertale on PC yet had a PS4, I was quite happy to hear the game was coming to the console and the Vita of all things. Hearing about it's achievements and awards it was given by even the most cynical of critics made me wonder much about the world of Undertale, so I was quite excited to jump on it and give it a run through. So does it deserve praise and acclaim then? Absolutely.

    There is such a love and fervor for this game's design, from the characters, the way you interact with the encounters, the fourth-wall breaking that can nail you, as the player, into a realm of humor, emotion and even guilt as every act you commit yields a consequence or effect. The music is top-notch and despite the graphics and textures being a bit lackluster, the homage to older games from the 80s and 90s really makes Undertale a game that takes a bold concept, and executes very well for what it has. Despite the praises, however, I feel the need to hammer at the game for a few things that aren't dealbreakers by any means (an 8 to me is a GREAT score, everyone deserves a chance to play this kinda of thing) but I feel hold it back some.

    The characters you encounter are definitely memorable, there is no doubt in my mind of this. The issue though is everything is VERY limited when doing things with them. It allows you to have a special moment with them once and doesn't show more of their side as they develop. Having a few more hangouts and conversations could make them far more powerful. Dating a skeleton should go alot farther and that's all I gotta say for that.

    The combat can be a bit unfair for newcomers. The game employs turn base RPG with bullet hell mechanics mixed to create a very interactive hybrid that gives you a bit of depth to your choices. The reason I feel it's unfair is that some attacks come so quick and have little time to react that I died quite a bit from my engagements. There is also a moderate irritation of backtracking for certain things, whether that be items, dialogue or events. I do think there should have been a smarter way of handling this without making newcomers feel the groans of running all the back for something and realize it was a waste of time. It's a shame because the game has great pacing leading up to the finale and it's spent doing side things despite the creator trying not to employ those kind of things and tell us in the game "doing something is going to be remembered". The last bit I would say that irked me (more of preference but perhaps an issue for some) is the voices. While I respect the homage to older games like Banjo and Kazooie for having goofy voiceovers instead of voice actors, Undertale's characters "voice" sounds can be grating to listen to. It feels like going silent would have been a far better move in my opinion, but if you are use to this kind of talk then it's fine.

    I do not want someone to misunderstand my 8/10 score. Undertale is a GREAT game that ends (the true ending of course) on a purely powerful and emotional note that speaks deep in not just the characters I encountered on my journey, but me as a person who has played games since I was a baby. $15 dollars for this game is honestly a no brainer and I recommend this to anyone interested in bold and new takes on current genres. While it has some issues that I feel can take away the experience much to the overwhelm of critical and fan acclaim it has now for almost 2 years, I completely understand more higher scores regardless. Undertale is a funny, emotional and interesting journey that pierces through your gaming soul in very clever ways.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On September 15 2015 the hit indie sensation “Undertale” was released by Toby Fox onto the PC platform “Steam” where it quickly grew in popularity and fandom. However by April 2016 the game seemed to have died out in popularity. Today people will tell you the game is complete garbage. But how good was the game? To answer I played through the game 3 times (one for each route) to see just how good or bad this game really is.

    When I first started the game I thought the lore was interesting: a world where humans and monsters once lived together but where the monsters were banished after a war in which the opposing kings lost their sons. I was intrigued by the art style chosen, an 8-bit sprite overworld, and during the dialogue and battle sequences a much more detailed (albeit still 8-bit) sprite, which looks absolutely gorgeous when animated. The tutorial is a bit bland, but the game kicks into high gear when the first boss fight (against the tutorial character conveniently named Toriel) If you kill her, you can go for one of 3 paths. The genocide route: the hardest path (It took me 1 hr and 23 mins to kill the final boss “Sans”) in which you kill every single monster programmed into the game. In Undertale unlike other games like pokemon, there are a finite number of monsters to kill. There is also a “Neutral” path, where players can kill as they please unlocking a different ending depending on the people they kill. And if you spare Toriel you can try for a pacifist route in which you don’t kill ANYTHING. If you beat the game in this fashion, you unlock a happy ending filled with all the monsters enjoying the sunshine for the first time in hundreds of years.

    Usually I despise monotonous 8-bit video game music, but I loved the Undertale soundtrack, it is mostly a fusion of 8-bit and other real forms of music like bebop, rock, and classical. It compliments the aesthetic perfectly and opts you to capture the moment of the game and just listen for a bit. The only thing I really didn’t like about this game is what remains of the fandom. The fandom of most things is bad enough, but Undertale takes the case with bad fan art and OC’s. If you say ANYTHING bad about the game like “I think the overworld art could have been done a lot better”. They will swarm you like wasps telling you how Undertale is a masterpiece and could do no wrong. Although this is honestly all I could come up with that was negative about this game.
    In all honesty the reason this game is no longer popular is because the fandom killed it. Butt I believe if the fandom wasn’t so bad, it would be held as a classic. I have to give the game 8 stars out of 10. The stunning visuals, and great gameplay, coupled with a stellar soundtrack, and astounding story. However the fandom keeps this game from the 10/10 it truly deserves.    … Expand

    I wouldn't say this game is "#2 Best PS4 Game of 2017" by any means. At least it was topped by Persona 5, a game deserving of a top spot. I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This is a great game, with fun mechanics, music, characters, and more.

There's a humour in the writing reminiscent of Earthbound, and there's actually a lot of depth to the characters and story once you get deeper into the game, especially on the second and third playthrough as you play a more merciful-or merciless-style of play. There were a few moments where I laughed out loud, and one battle in the game had my heart rate maxed out as I finally managed to beat it after about my 40th attempt.

    It's a polarizing game for sure, especially if you're comparing it to AAA PS4 action/RPG or FPS games. But if you grew up playing and loving those 90's turn based RPG games, you will likely really enjoy this.    … Expand

I never got back to playing it after the fandom spilled out. This game was originally on pc, but then spilled onto Playstation. I don't know why they ported it since this game is a couple years old?

The soundtrack is good. i recieved it very well and thought it was always fitting, since this was made by one guy. The game is like only 4 HOURS LONG. (Angryjoe would be disappointed). There are "multiple endings", but its just different end text. THATS IT. 4 HOURS FOR THIS?! Very disappointing! Thats all from me, really.

The characters are a joy to get to know, and the whole affair is topped-off with a charming, memorable soundtrack. The game is a masterpiece.

    The catch being that it's only a masterpiece if you play by its rules.

    The way the Genocide Route is handled is stupid and undermines its own point. Sure, in theory, you have a choice with regard to which route you want to take, but if you don't do it the way you're supposed to do it, have fun playing a game so mind-numbingly dull and tedious that by the time you get to any of the story chunks, you're so worn out that it barely makes an impact on you. Have fun with a shorter, less rewarding, less fulfilling campaign. And to top it off, you're permanently stuck in a game mode in which you're no longer able to achieve the Pacifist Route.

    Gee, you think we got the point, Toby?

    Look, I get it, the game is trying to punish you for doing the wrong thing. But that's stupid. Why punish the player for trying to get the most out of your game, in the game that usually rewards you for exploring every nook and cranny of its world? Imagine if in Pokémon, you fill out the Pokédex, and you're arrested for animal cruelty and have to spend the rest of the game in jail. That's kind of what this is like. It's incredibly pretentious. Does Toby Fox have that little confidence in himself as a writer that he doesn't think the weight of your actions is punishment enough?

    So yeah, two great games modes + one that sucks = 2/3 = 66.6%, round up to 7, and we get my score for the game.    … Expand

    Mediocre and over-rated game, but I would recommend it if you can get it cheap (under $5).
    Pros:
    -fun quirky story
    -doesn't take itself too seriously
    -awesome music
    Cons:
    -very short, its over before you know it
    -"combat" system, or lack there-of
    Pick it up for cheap if you want to finish it in a day, but I can think of a lot of games I'd rather play over this

    I didn't realise how controversial Undertale was until I looked up reviews after playing it. Undertale frequently appears on top 10 lists of games you must play, so 5 years late to the game I decided to take the plunge.

I'll    I didn't realise how controversial Undertale was until I looked up reviews after playing it. Undertale frequently appears on top 10 lists of games you must play, so 5 years late to the game I decided to take the plunge.

    If I was to sum up UT, it would be that it is quite innovative and quite irritating. I like that it thinks outside the box but it lacks consistent execution. I'll elaborate below.

    UT's graphics are part of a niche in modern games that like to use retro graphics. For the purposes of the game, these graphics serve pretty well. I like the retro feel and the graphics lend themselves well to the gameplay style and humour. The downside of retro graphics is that repetition can set in quickly. UT tries to navigate this with a variety of environments with mixed success. It's saving grace is probably that it's a relatively short game although I still felt it outstayed its welcome.

    The story of UT is where things become very interesting. The premise is essentially escaping an elaborate dungeon, but there are tons of eccentric and quirky characters along the way. The problem with this is that when everyone is a bit bonkers the humour and wit wear thin fairly quickly. There are parts of the game where you are constantly pestered with irrelevant monologues that started to irritate me rather interest me. The prevalence of quirky characters comes across as trying too hard, like stepping into a hipster cafe where everyone tries so hard to look different but ends up looking the same because they're all so obscure.

    The gameplay of UT is where I found myself most interested. Rather than a typical turn-based approach, I liked the interactivity of moving the heart to avoid attacks. Again however, this became very irritating towards the end to the point that I didn't even finish the final two bosses as their attacks were just too cheap.

    In addition to the above, UT prides itself on the alternate methods of engaging enemies, some of which can avoid battle altogether. The problem with this is you likely need a walkthrough in order to achieve non-combative play-throughs, or at least that's what I needed. In hindsight, i found the game much more enjoyable when I gave up on pacifism and just fought through everything like a normal RPG. I think that speaks volumes in itself, or just shows my own preference for violence and simplicity. Either way, this innovative approach to battle was just a bit too esoteric for my liking.

    Overall, I find Undertale falls somewhere between innovative and pretentious. What shocked me more than anything was discovering the animosity between people discussing the game, What this means is that you really need to play the game for yourself and I am glad to finally know that it's just not for me. I got it on sale for lie £7 and I don't think it was really worth that much, so look out for a price drop if you want to try it, and avoid reading what anyone else says about it until you've tried it.    … Expand

    I found this game enjoyable but certainly not unforgettable.

    On the positive side, there are some very funny elements to the story and characters. I enjoy the way the battles work - very new and creative. I like the way you can do more than just constantly fight - you can talk to your opponents and even do a fully passive run if desired. The soundtrack is also really good.

    Negatives for me were that it was very linear. I'm not someone who loves massive open worlds, but this all felt a bit too constricted compared to a classic like Earthbound. There was rarely any point revisiting previous areas so it just felt like you're just on one long slog to the end. I also found a lot of the puzzles quite easy which is a shame, as the concepts were good. The levelling and weapon/armour/money systems are very restrictive. Again - I wouldn't want them to be too overboard in a game like this, but they were so simplistic it hardly felt like they matter.

    Overall I'm happy I bought it and spent ~6 hours playing through, but it's certainly not one that will go down as anything more than average.    … Expand

    Undertale hits all the right marks to be fawned over by, say, a MetaFilter regular. It's indie, it's retro, it invites talk of "subverting the conventions" of its medium, and it is precious in its presentation. If you're a heinous bore, procrastinating on your postgraduate thesis, this game is aptly suited to accept the self-satisfied word salad you call an opinion.

If you're a heinous bore, procrastinating on your postgraduate thesis, this game is aptly suited to accept the self-satisfied word salad you call an opinion.

    But it's easy to get distracted by the insufferable audience of a work, and that's not being fair. I actually do see value in subverting conventions: having the consequences of killing a character dog you even when you've reloaded a previous save, and the range of aggressive or pacifist actions you can take, offer some interesting perspective on the kinds of worlds that most games portray (where violent catharsis is the sole solution).

    I don't care much about any nostalgic element to the presentation, but I like that it's too low res for the disgusting anime styles of modern RPGs to be rendered, that there's no awful voice acting.

    The character development presented a satisfying enough blend of motivations and conflicts (though the game does get up its own ass a bit in this regard), and seeing the conflicted motives of the "enemies" play out in real time, within the battle mechanic was kind of neat.

    That mechanic, though...

    There are worthwhile experiments, and there are genuinely enjoyable experiences, and the primary mechanic for winning battles in this game makes it one of the former.    … Expand

    I was very disappointed by the PS4 port. I know it's made in RPG Maker and runs in 20fps. That's fine. But why did they have to compress the audio so it sounds like ****. The music is perhaps the best element in this game and it's ruined by horrible lossy compression (It sounds great on PC). PS4 Port sucks, if you really want it, get it on PC instead.

The writing is okay but it's not really the best: it's too cheesy and gets boring after a while, which is what people praise the most but I've seen better.
    At least it's no Final Fantasy level of crappy writing so it's definitely a plus.

    With that said, I expected this version to give more in terms of content: the original game is very short, clocking only around 6-7 hours unless you go for the other routes, but for what I've seen, it's the same exact game that you had on pc...so why would you buy it again if not for wasting money? Even a laptop could run this thing so the only reason I could recommend this game on ps4, it's because you don't own a computer!

    On top of that you could potentially get it cheaper on steam during sales, and while it's not expensive, the steam version is 5 bucks cheaper than the psn version. Again why bother?

    I really can't say much because this version is quite literally the same as the pc version, and the same **** there is applied here.. so yeah, just read pc reviews. I might be lazy but hey, so is this port!

    And one more thing: if anyone really praises this game "because you killing is unnecessary" **** that everyone praise this game about...go play Deus Ex or the Thief games (or Dishonored too).

    It's masterful, and practically unique - which is just about the best way to describe the game as a whole. [Nov 2017, p.88]

    Despite the fact that Undertale didn't tick all my boxes, it was still an enjoyable game. Its visuals and music brought to mind some of my most cherished memories from my formative years, and are top-notch even for games that try to evoke that retro vibe. Its narrative is tongue-in-cheek and consistantly sends surprises the player's way. The game excels at asking players to enjoy it in ways that are incongruous with the traditional way RPGs are designed. Unfortunately, those looking for a more traditional experience may feel short-changed here. The lion's share of the game's character, lore, and emotional impact is experienced by challenging yourself to play the entire game in a completely different fashion.
